Today marks the 100th day since GOP health care leader Roy Blunt promised that they would have a health care bill, and there’s still no bill:

Minority Leader John Boehner said the goal of the House GOP plan was to improve the current health care system

“As we proceed down this path, we have to be careful not to impede what works in the current system,” Boehner told reporters. “We take the current health care system and make it better for all Americans.”

“I guarantee you we will provide you with a bill that costs less and provides better care for the American people,” said Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who is heading up the House GOP’s health care effort.

Instead, Boehner, the House minority leader, is ramping up his critisism of even the insurance company bailout Baucus Bill:

As the Senate Finance Committee gets set to begin its second day examining Senator Max Baucus’ (D-MT) costly government run-health care bill, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) released a list of 10 facts every American should know about what he calls "the wrong prescription during these tough economic times:"

Just a reminder: The GOP opposition to health reform has nothing to do with a public health insurance option. As Boehner’s statement makes clear, the GOP will oppose everything as a government takeover of health care. The fact that Max Baucus’s bill has no public health insurance option does not matter.
